Hi @Francisco_Gomez1,

This doesn't look good, but it is known that some modules can consume a lot of memory. What modules are you using?

You also mention memory spikes, does it mean that this memory usage is sporadic, or is metricbeat constantly using so much memory?

Something else that can help to identify the issue is to obtain a memory profile, you can obtain it restarting metricbeat with the -httpprof=127.0.0.1:6060 flag, and downloading it from http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/heap.
